4.3 Air supply (fig. 2)
Air should be allowed to flow between the insert and the
brickwork, and it is very important that there is a free air supply
to the draft catchers on top of and under the insert.
The required air vent sizes for Jøtul I 18 (for air circulation) are:
Base: Minimum of 750 cm
Top: Minimum of 1000 cm
This is a safety measure to prevent a build up of heat in the
surround, and also to ensure sufficient heat emission into the
room.
If the house is badly ventilated, the room must be equipped with
extra fresh air circulation, for example by means of separate
air channels or a separate channel directly to the top of the
fireplace.
The fresh air channel should be as straight as possible. Channels
in the stove must be made of fire-proof materials.
4.4 Ceiling
Jøtul I 18 should have a min. 500 mm distance from warm air
opening in the hood's top to a ceiling of c0mbustible material.
4.5 Chimney
• The fireplace can be connected to a chimney and flue
pipe approved for solid fuel fired fireplaces with flue gas
temperatures specified in «2.0 Technical data».
• The chimney's cross-section must be at least as big as the
flue pipe's cross-section. See «2.0 Technical data» when
calculating the correct chimney cross-section.
• The fireplace must be connected to a separate chimney.
Contact your local building authorities regarding restrictions
and installation requirements
• Connection to the chimney must be carried out in accordance
with the installation instructions from the supplier of the
chimney.
• Before making a hole in the chimney the fireplace should be
test-mounted in order to correctly mark the position of the
fireplace and the hole in the chimney. See fig. 1 for minimum
dimensions.
• Ensure that the flue pipe is inclined all the way up to the
chimney.
• Use a flue pipe bend with a sweeping hatch that allows it to
be swept.
Be aware of the fact that connections must have a certain
flexibility in order to prevent movement in the installation
leading to cracks.
N.B! A correct and sealed connection is very important for the
proper functioning of the product.
Warning! Weight from the fireplace must not be transferred to the
chimney. The fireplace must not interfere with the ability of the
chimney to move and it must not be fastened to the chimney.
Note: A guide is published by the British Flue and Chimney
Manufacturers' Association which contains general information
on chimneys and flues.
Recommended chimney draught: See section «2.0 Technical
data». If the draught is too strong you can install and operate a
flue damper to control the draught.
